Stretch Marks

Caused from pregnancy, rapid weight loss and even growth spurts. No cream in the world will completely eliminate stretch marks, only fade them which helps quite a bit. Stretch marks do fade in time on their own.

One recommended way to reduce the appearance of stretch marks is to lift weights, it will help to tighten the surrounding skin making it appear smoother.
